Oh, — this ain’t gon’na work, girl.

Friends in colleg married fellow students from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Big mistake for both women.

This sounds like more of the same.

I think the culture differential is huge, but that might work in her favor.

Don’t know about Saudi Arabia, but I have known some extraordinarily attractive Iranian women. Just stunning. But I think Iran is very different.

My wife nearly married an Egyptian guy before she married me, and from what she tells me, she really dodged a bullet. His family treated her pretty shabbily, and I got the distinct impression that an American woman marrying into that culture would be much more painful than it would for a guy.

the Massai are a tribe unto themselves - a handsome, proud people, known for being slim and tall.

Never heard of them abusing one another nor others - other TVA n cattle stealing, which is not seen as stealing in their culture.- never heard anything negative, come to think of it. They ‘re still largely nomadic and relatively primitive. A happy people, actually more ‘civilized’ than so many African peoples who slaughter each other by the thousands.

Maybe it's because they still live such simple lives with so few possessions, no cities to conquer and rule, etc., that they escape the machete wielders.

Now anyone fool woman who marries a Saudi or Iranian has got to be brain dead.
